Last week, about 600 teenagers in the US imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities and alien languages. They believe they will use jet packs, and hoverboards (旋转飞盘), as everyday transport.
All the participants (参加者) of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age. The study is to show how the first cyber (与电脑有关的) generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.
Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning. The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 percent imagine them to be robots. Some 24 percent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have interchangeable microchips (微型芯片) so that one person can teach all subjects.
More than one in two believe hoverboarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favourite activity. Another third think jet packs will be popular. Nearly 30 percent think football and bike-riding will remain popular.
When it comes to the courses, they think future generations will be learning about robot building (63 percent), alien languages (47 percent), celebrities (26 percent) and R&B music (22 percent).
Children will wear virtual reality helmets (可视头盔) to bring lessons to life, say 40 percent, while over 20 percent believe they will not need lessons because microchips put in their head will send relevant (相关的) information into the brain.
Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues at American Online, said, “The kids seem very aware of the liberating qualities of technology.”

Last Friday, a couple decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception, they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area. Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000 homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis. The idea came from the bridegroom’s father, Ted, who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization. For the past few years, the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who’ve suffered from natural disasters. He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son, who was surprised by the suggestion, but soon won over. When he told that to the bride, she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need. They love to share their food, their table and everything they have. And afterwards she was quite amazed about it. So, they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients (接受者).
On that evening, the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good. “It’s like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,” Michael said. “Hopefully, this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need.”
1.How did the couple celebrate their wedding?
A. They took photos with the grateful victims.
B. They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.
C. They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.
D. They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.
2.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?
A. To help distribute free daily meals.
B. To escape the damaging earthquake.
C. To support the organization.
D. To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.
3.What does the underlined word “approached” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. consulted with B. moved towards
C. came across D. took in
4.We can know from the text that ________.
A. Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him
B. Ted was a representative of the organization
C. Linda adapted the suggestion immediately she heard it
D. Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern Turkey

For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
1.The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________.
A. take photos
B. cheer herself up
C. hop along the path
D. find a solution to the project
2.The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means " __________".
A. uninteresting B. unrelated
C. unsuccessful D. unexpected
3.In the author's opinion, __________.
A.a bath can make people relaxed
B. adults should express their inner feelings freely
C. walking in a busy city centre harms people's health
D. depression is usually caused by hard work
4.The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) __________.
A. suggestion B. explanation
C. introduction D. reminder

A recent study, which was published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager driving alone.
The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is.” he says.
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence(在场)of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights.
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.
1.Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?
A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.
B．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
C．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.
D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
2.According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _______.
A．their frequent driving at night B．their lack of driving experience
C．their wrong way of driving D．their driving with passengers
3.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.
B．Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn.
C．Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses.
D．The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents.
4.A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers’ driving accidents is that ______.
A．driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule
B．they should be forbidden to take on passengers
C．they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pm
D．the licensing system should be improved
